I'm making skeeter pee. Yes, I know what the instructions say to do. I'm wondering how long wine can be left on the yeast cake. I'm familiar with autolysis but I can't seem to find a general rule of thumb for how long is too long. I cant rack at the moment because I dont have a spare carboy.
 
Autolysis - probably won't even happen, at any length of time, and if it does, it might taste good. Like Champagne or Chardonnay that's aged sur lie.
